Buster the Ska Doggie was born on July 4th, 2008 when The Uptones released their epic Skankin' Foolz Unite! album. Jesse Michaels drew Buster for the record cover and Buster leaped off of it and started dancing around. Before long Buster had amassed a massive collection of ska records and friends and has been to every single ska show on earth, usually attending at least 100 around the world, all at the same time. Don't ask how he does it. Buster blogs at ska4u.com and you also can find him on FB and Twitter. W00f!

The Duff Guide To Ska is one of the longest running and best ska blogs in the known universe. Steve of Moon Records fame is the skauthor, and his skalarly credentials are impeccable. Buster is proud to re-post snippets of Steve's posts here, with links to his original bleats. You can't go wrong with Duff as your Guide.
